FAMILY CAMPING during STORM EVERT (Dorset Camp near the coast in strong winds)

We took the family camping on the Dorset coast for four nights. On the First night, Storm Evert arrived so a tense night of battening down the hatches ensued and fighting to keep our tent up against strong gale forced winds.

Air tents work very well in high winds if erected properly. Do not over-inflate and peg out properly. The nice thing is that the air tubes will give and the tent partially collapse in strong wind but then just right itself again. I carry extra guy lines for one side only and use them on the windy side if ever necessary. I have used them on poled tents before but never bothered with the air tent.

[@Outdoorshuntingshooting]

I would counter, all tents can survive if pitched correctly. I have pitched geodesic tents in 80mph winds in Scotland and survived the night. Air-beam tents offer a lot of advantages especially in windy conditions.

[@kennethcarter5720]

Trev We camp at the (tent graveyard) Shell Island. The destroyer of tents. It can be so bad, they will give you credit fo days you have not used. If your tent is destroyed. On a bad weekend, I walked the site and assessed the damage. The reason was to see which tents were still standing. Outwell we’re the outright winners. I bought an outwell concord. That same week. It’s an air beam. It’s a fantastic poly cotton tent. Storm guys. Warm in the cold cool in the heat. My kids lend it. So I’ve bought another one. It’s expensive. But it’s tested to gale force nine. We go to shell island because of the space. 20 meter rule unless camping next to family friends. At the moment the concord has a clean sheet against the tent graveyard. Give it a look. I think your family will love it. Fabulous tents 🔥

[@JasonSmith-rd8yv]

We were camping in Cornwall right on the coast last August year and the year before and survived two named storms in a Vango Airbeam family tent. If you get the pressures right they will flatten but just pop back up. There were similar 8 man poled tents that were literally destroyed where their poles all snapped and fabric ripped. Wouldn’t be in a storm in any other type of family sized tent now.

[@rogelicewanders-eastcoast]

It reminds me of our fam camping too last week. It was windy and rainy that it flattens some of the tent in the campground. Was so glad we used our opalus 3 that we can cook inside the tent and it stands against the strong wind and rain for 24hrs. Keep safe and have fun.

Awww lovely to see you out with your family, reminded me of so many of my family camping trips as a kid! What a crazy storm! Glad you all were ok 🤗

[@clairebriggs4333]

We were in that storm in South Cornwall, we were in a bell tent, it barely moved! It was our first time in that tent as we have been in a vango air tent before that in 50mph+ winds with no problems. The air tents survived but the cheaper poled tents literally tore to shreds! The air tents are meant to collapse, then they pop back up. But don't over or under inflate that is the key. We always hit a huge storm whenever we go away!

[@otoadventures]

Wow. We were in that storm as well. We were camping in north Devon it was really blowing. Pleased to say our Coleman waterfall held out well. 👍

[@HikeCamp]

That appeared to be a right proper and typical Summit or Nothing camp...

[@cairnscrow8713]

Well that was different, great vid. Take a look at Outwell air tents. We have emerged safely from extreme stormy nights to find 80% of tents on site down the morning after. Getting the correct pressure for the weather and guying/ pegging out is 'absolute key'. We have an Outwell 'smart air' Hornet 6sa and it has never let us down, even in 60mph, 70 gusts. It's usually user error when air tents fail, with the exception that some are just poorly designed by being way too wide on the upper beams. ''''Just my opinion''' 😁 Basically avoid very wide tents. My all time favourites were the old chalet style, canvas, steel pole tents

[@SummitOrNothing]

Cheers John. Will bare those tents in mind. Our tent fared surprisingly well considering. Kept us on our toes though 🤣

We was camping near Weymouth that weekend, luckily we was sheltered a bit and survived, I believe air tent rock but just bounce back, nothing to snap. If a pole snaps in frame tent it's game over pack up and go home,

[@robmontier3770]

Depends on the pole type. I have replaced pole sections before.

[@rgorham99]

Can highly recommend Outwell Montana 6P stands 60mph winds on a clifftop easily and several storms so far and still going strong. Only downside is pack size and weight, but on the upside you dont need to worry what the weather throws at you.

That’s good to know about those air tents. My daughter and her hubby bought one of those. I’ll be sure to advise them not to use in heavy winds 😱 Would have been real useful to have got a proper tour to see which tents actually survived well. I’ll look back on the vid because I know you mentioned the best one… see if I can see what make and model it was. Great to see you out with the family 👍🏼 Your young lady is a live wire 😂 She reminds me of my middle Grand-daughter.

[@clivenewton7609]

The trick with all tents is to get the pegging right and have some heavy duty pegs for all the main points for such an occasion, especially with large family type tents! Kind regards from deepest Dorset 👍

[@justvin7214]

The tent Trev pointed out was a Vango Anteus 600xl.

[@hArtyTruffle]

@@justvin7214 thanks, yeah, I looked it up and it is specifically strengthened for high winds. They no longer make them but I saw a couple for sale second hand. Looks like a pretty decent tent for the price. As they no longer make them, I do wonder if they make an even stronger version now… any way, don’t need one now, but I’ve sent the details to my daughter. Thanks again 👍🏼

U Albinos outside forever now lol😊

[@shabingly]

That campsite looks fucking horrible, the pitches are about 12 inches away from each other? No wonder *everyone's* tent got flattened, you haven't got enough room to put your guy-lines out at the right angle. 40 mph wind is a bit much for a tent that's 6 foot high and slab-sided, though. Wife and I were watching it, she never went camping with her family and I did as a kid; Her "that looks awful" Me "that is my childhood holidays, why d'you think I drag you camping?"

[@clactonmassive]

I have the Berghaus air 6. I have taken it out in all kinds of horrific weather. If you get the air pressure right ( gauge supplied with markings ) and peg it well. It will take a good kickin. I can also recommend the Berghaus gazebo. Good space to sit when the heavens open up. 4 walls and fly net. I would say the only down side is the size of the bags. Takes a lot of boot space. Also never let in a drop of water.

[@ITACHUKE]

Its my first time camping with my kids and wife and I've just bought the air 6 xl. I was originally a bit worried about it not being the best in the wind but your comment has made me feel much better about purchasing the right tent.

[@familygonewild2110]

Hope you managed a good holiday despite the weather. We have a Vango Rome Air tent and we had two storms last year with 50mph winds in Bude. It did amazingly well. We found the opposite all the pole tents were destroyed in the morning but all air tents survived the week. Storm guying seems to be the key with big tents

[@SummitOrNothing]

It was a good holiday, and the rest of the nights was like luxury in comparison. To be fair, there was a mixed bag of pole and airtents that survived and were destroyed in the end.

Memories of a stormy night in the family tent, somewhere in France, some 40+ yrs ago. We had to hold on to the aluminium poles for hours to keep it from taking off like a kite.

[@nickforsythandkids]

I have the berghaus air 6xl. Last year at the Lake District we were in similar conditions and only one air beam dropped down once in really high winds when all the tents around us were being destroyed. So maybe it’s to do with the air pressure you put in the tubes or how they’ve pegged it out. We are going Cornwall in 2 weeks and hoping the weather clears up abit

[@davidlloyd83]

made me laugh , we literally just lost our anteus 600 xl last week in some heavy winds in Yorkshire, completely snapped all but one pole and ripped the fabric to the point the tent was basically in two ..... and then to see you walk past one and say how well it is doing lol, right in the feels :-D / funny enough all the airbeam tents survived fine on that site.

[@deaneager]

Hey Trev, I have a Berghaus Air 6XL and it's withstood winds of constant speed of 35mph, with gusts of 50mph. Our friends had the same tent, pitched just a few metres from us, and their's was flattened in the same storm (they had to spend the night in their car). The difference? Well, we were side into the wind, decent pegs for the guys, and were slightly over max pressure in the airbeams (our friends were slightly under). There were a couple of points in the night where the beams folded, but they had enough pressure to just pop back up. Literally every other family sized tent on the campsite was flattened - broken poles everywhere! So I don't think durability is the issue with inflatable tents, if they're pitched correctly. The biggest issue we have with ours is it's just so big and heavy when packed. With a child and a dog, we can't fit the Air 6XL and minimal gear into our Audi Q3, with a 420L roof box packed tight. We have to take a second car (all this faff is one of the reasons I've gotten into the more simple pleasures of wild camping). So, yeah, I wouldn't let (lack of) durability put you off inflatable tents if you have a big enough vehicle to get one into.

no way! the same thing happened to my family, we went to Wales for a trip and the weather was indicating some strong winds, (40 MPH) We stayed in 3 separate tents as it was too many people for one tent, When the storm hit we went in the tent of course but the storm was way stronger than what the weather app said, it blew down our neighbouring tent, Ripped a hole in my tent, and bent the poles of the third tent It even blew down wind socks and one fell on a car and damaged it

[@dagnut]

Thanks for the video and not having a go but --Compete opposite of what you said about air tents IMO...correct pressure in the poles and with the right guides they are much sturdier. None of those Berghaus I saw there were guided properly and all older models.

[@captainlandslide9874]

Good video, just seen it! Yeah that looked pretty bad but you seemed to have guyed your tent out effectively which helped a lot. I see so many tent failures resulting from improper pitching and guying out. I experienced this about 12yrs ago in Snowdonia where i had an enormous tent, one day all hell broke loose weather wise, i guyed it out with the ropes facing the wind direction using foot-long v-groove stakes, and it stood firm but most of the other tents on site were flattened or damaged!

Makes great memories. I remember camping with the family in Wales 2011 during a storm. The tent had polycarbonate poles and they were useless. Airbeam tents were just coming out but they faired no better. I vowed to get a better tent. Ended up with a vango maritza 700. Steel frame tent and absolutely huge. No probs with wind. Bit heavy with it being g steel framed buy worth it for piece of mind. Love all your vids btw.

[@mysterylovescompany2657]

I have a steel-framed 8-man Coleman Festival Octagon, & I'm always in 2 minds about it. On the 1 hand, the frame truly does feel bomb-proof - like I could beat a croc to death with the bag & still have it pop up just lovely. On the other hand, the thing has the bloody wind profile of the Great Pyramid of Giza, so I don't know. I try to take a smaller tent if I'm expecting storms, but then I _do_ miss the living space, once I'm stuck inside! 😂

great opportunity to see what tents performed the best in bad weather at someone else’s expense 😂😂 having done camping your experience kicked in and you did the right thing in adding extra guy lines to the poles and having the tent pointy end facing the wind …. i’ve said this before but “all the best memories are made in adversity” …. your kids are going to remember this trip and ‘dad running about outside saving the tent’ for the rest of their lives 👍👍 😄😄ATB Dave Mc

Real nice family vid mate, that weather was pretty insane though, cant believe half of those tents were not even using guy lines

Vango family tents held up best judging by that footage..........oh the joys of an English summer.

Been in one of them before down there, Gold cap- nearly got blown away, there was even a water spout out in the channel, proper bad, next day was like a summer day- ice cream ad weather; we were going home that day typical. Glad you had a good time.

You're a jinx mate, wherever you go expensive tents fall apart and your bin bag and tie wraps soldiers through. 😊

We've got similar experience from North Wales. Few years ago: Wind up to 55MPH, and we camping at hill side next to the coast. So wind was amplified little by terrain... Our tent was same as this Decathlon tent @6:34 but our was properly hook up. Nothing happen to tent, but We was surprised how much these fibreglass poles can flex. Tunnel tents can survive a lot...
